Don’t Show the Son

Li Bozhang knew that Lin Xiu was joking.

The throne is not so good, this matter, even the father can not decide.

The prince is the crown prince, backed by the most powerful first-class family in Daxia, and the next emperor of Daxia is likely to be him.

The other 20% possibility lies with King Qi.

And even if the crown prince died suddenly and the king of Qi died, the two families would probably send other young women from the family to the palace so that the father would continue to have children, and it would not be his turn anyway.

Lin Xiu was not joking.

The Supreme Realm is nothing more than nine times of awakening the ability of different arts. Is it difficult?

If he really only awakened the magic of ice, it would be quite difficult.

With his basic talent, if he wants to practice step by step to the supreme state, it will take about five or six hundred years if everything goes well.

To be conservative, let’s count it as six hundred years.

He is now six times the basic practice speed, which is a hundred years.

For ordinary people, they may not live to this time.

But Lin Xiu has the ability to heal. Under normal circumstances, it is more than enough to live to be more than a hundred years old.

However, just because he can survive does not mean that Li Baizhang can survive.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Li Baizhang can live, but at that time, he will already be one hundred and twenty years old, even if he is married to one hundred concubines, he will not be able to use them.

But six times the speed of practice is not Lin Xiu's limit.

Breaking through to the upper realm of the Xuan rank, the number of his abilities will increase by at least four.

If he can copy the four heavenly abilities, it will be ten times the speed of practice.

Dividing six hundred by ten, he can practice to the supreme state in only sixty years.

At that time, Li Bozhang was eighty years old—it seemed that he still didn't need it.

But if he has twenty useful abilities, this time will be shortened to thirty years.

Thirty, twenty years.

If there are sixty, it only takes ten years.

Of course, there are not so many sky-level abilities, even if there are, he can get them, but there are only twenty-four hours a day, and he doesn't have that much time to practice.

It seems that even if Lin Xiuneng made Li Bozhang emperor during his lifetime, his body might not allow him to have fun anymore.

Lin Xiu couldn't help mourning for him.

...

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Xiu told Uncle Ping'an and his wife about the old house. Zhou Yun smiled and said, Xiu'er has grown up. You can decide these things yourself, and it's a good deed. It is also for the sake of the Lin family, I hope that after you and Lingjun get married, you can give us a grandson or granddaughter soon...

Lin Xiu fled in despair. He wasn't even ready to get married, let alone have a baby.

He really enjoyed the process of having a baby.

He used to sing and sing every night. In the past six months, although he didn't have any women around him, he was still interested in his practice, so he didn't think it was a big deal.

It's all Ake's fault.

What are you talking about? Lin Xiu is a normal man, a man with normal physical needs, unless he has a hidden disease, if a normal man sees that kind of scene, if he doesn't react at all, there will be a problem.

Her body opened the Pandora's box in Lin Xiu's heart, and it could never be closed again.

Lin Xiu these two days, as long as she sleeps, she must dream.

And every time he dreams, he will dream of a big white moon, or a white rabbit that jumps around.

The culprit who caused all this has never appeared again.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't show up, but Lin Xiu from the province was thinking wildly after seeing her.

Two days passed quickly, and today is New Year's Eve.

After tonight is the new year.

The royal capital tonight is naturally lively. Countless fireworks are blooming in the night sky, reflecting the night sky like daytime. Of course, almost all the fireworks are blooming in the east city. Most of the people, on the dinner table tonight, can have one more Meat dishes are considered Chinese New Year.

The food in the Lin Mansion tonight was very sumptuous. The hosts sat at one table, and the servants sat at two tables. Even the family dog ​​had five dishes in front of him. There were four dishes and one soup, including fish and meat.

For the past ten years or so, Lin Xiu spent New Year's Eve alone.

Although there is no Spring Festival Gala in this world, it is the most youthful year that Lin Xiu has ever lived. He seldom drinks alcohol on weekdays, but tonight, he was drunk for the first time.

When he woke up from the bed, it was already daylight.

He was woken up by the little maid at home. Uncle Ping'an and his wife knew that Lin Xiu practiced hard, and they would not wake him up even if he slept late on weekdays, but today was different. They had to eat dumplings on the morning of the first day of the new year. And there must be no one person in the family, which means reunion.

After eating dumplings, there are a series of rituals and customs.

Worshiping ancestors is also one of the important things to do on the first day of the new year.

This is especially important for the rich and powerful.

Any powerful family in the Great Xia cannot achieve today's brilliance without the blood inheritance of their ancestors, so they respect and cherish their ancestors very much. Even the royal family will hold large-scale ancestor worship activities today.

Lin Xiu followed her parents to the cemetery outside the city to pay homage to the ancestors of the Lin family. After that, they had to go to the temple to offer incense and pay their respects.

Lin Xiu didn't go with them, he followed the old beggar and the salesman to another grave.

To his surprise, there were still a few figures in front of Chen Yu's grave.

Several girls were kneeling in front of her grave, crying, and the old bustard of Pinfang Pavilion was also there, which surprised Lin Xiu a little.

It turned out that so many people still remembered her.

Seeing Lin Xiu, the old bustard hurried over and said, My lord, you are here too...

Seeing Lin Xiu's eyes looking at those girls, the old bustard explained: My lord doesn't know something, Haitang... no, when Ayu was still here, when he saw girls being sold into brothels, he would buy them with his own money. , has been supporting them, otherwise, she should have redeemed herself long ago...

Lin Xiu looked at those little girls. Their age ranged from eight or nine years old to fifteen or sixteen years old. She was sold into a brothel at about the same age.

Perhaps, it was Chen Yu who saw herself in them.

She doesn't want these children to repeat her mistakes.

Lin Xiu asked, What are they going to do in the future?

The old bustard said: I gave them the money she left behind, let them fend for themselves. Although they can support themselves in the brothel, in that case, Ayu's painstaking efforts will be in vain...

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, Let them follow me.

Although the Lin family no longer needs maidservants, they can still work in Ningxiangzhai, which is better than letting them fend for themselves. A few little girls have no ability to make a living. Without background and backing, it is difficult for them to even protect themselves.

The old bustard was overjoyed and said, This is the best...

She walked over quickly, said a few words to the little girls, and they got up from the ground, obediently standing beside Lin Xiu.

When they were about to leave, another figure approached from a distance.

It was a man, ordinary-looking, not tall, looking thin and frail, walked past Lin Xiu and the others, and stood in front of Chen Yu's grave in a daze.

The old bustard sighed: When Ayu used to stand at the door to receive customers, he always stood at a distance and peeked. I was thinking that after Ayu redeemed himself, it would be nice to have someone to live an ordinary life with her, hey...

Lin Xiu looked at the tombstone, even though she was just a brothel girl, there were still people who loved and respected her.

They are humble, but they also have relatives and friends, and people who care about them.

They are real people, but there are always people who don't treat them as human beings.

He placed a bunch of plum blossoms in front of Chen Yu's grave, and whispered, It will change...

After a while, Lin Xiu withdrew her thoughts and looked at the five little girls beside her.

Chen Yu took good care of them during his lifetime, and Lin Xiu will take her place in the future.

How to arrange them, he needs to find Xue Ning'er.

Ningxiangzhai's business, each of them has a very clear division of labor.

Lin Xiu contributed technology, Li Baizhang contributed manpower and material resources, Xue Ning'er was in charge of management, and the noble concubine waited to collect money.

Xue Ning'er is in charge of the store affairs.

After returning to the royal capital, Lin Xiu came to the gate of Xue's mansion and asked the concierge to report on his behalf.

After a while, a figure hurried out from Xue's mansion.

On the first day of the new year, Xue Ning'er was wearing a new dress, and she was also very beautifully dressed. The little girls were dumbfounded when they saw such a beautiful sister.

Lin Xiu explained to her why she came here, Xue Ning'er looked at the little girls, smiled and said: Don't worry, they will be handed over to me, it happens that our shop is short of manpower, so I asked the maids from the mansion to help in the shop, so let's go first Let them live in my house...

As soon as Xue Ning'er finished speaking, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps and slightly noisy voices from inside the Xue residence.

What, someone is looking for our Ning'er?

Or a handsome young man?

Did you say which one it belongs to?

Let me see, let me see...

Soon, more than a dozen men ran out of the mansion, each of them looked at Lin Xiu with scrutiny, and then nodded and commented.

He looks really handsome.

Just a little thinner.

It's nothing to be thin, just eat more food.

Several people walked up to Lin Xiu and spoke one after another.

Which family are you from?

How old is this year?

What strange magic ability was awakened?

How many steps have you reached in martial arts?

...

Lin Xiu was a little dazed when these people asked questions about household registration.

Xue Ning'er stomped her feet and said angrily: Fourth brother, fifth brother, seventh brother and eleventh brother, what are you doing, you are not allowed to be rude to my friends!

There are more than a dozen males in Xue's family, but only one girl. Of course, a brother has to worry about her life's major events.

In the past, she was surrounded by countless men, and they would not be so curious.

But not long ago, she suddenly changed her temperament. Not only did she reject everyone's pursuit, but she also started to pay attention to her practice. She went to the Martial Arts Academy every day to practice kung fu. Recently, she opened a store in partnership with someone...

These kinds of things are all revealing weirdness.

Especially when she rejected the pursuit of the two princes of the state before, and the previous suitors wanted to see her, but she didn't see anyone. Just now, when she heard that someone was looking for her, she didn't even bother to eat lunch, and ran out as fast as she could. , how can they not be surprised?

Xue Ning'er glared at them, and said viciously: Go back quickly, or I will get angry!

When a dozen people heard the words, they ran back immediately.

It made Ning'er angry, although she would not do anything to them, but father's stick is not so pleasant.

At this time, in front of another mansion not far from Xue's house.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy looked at the door of Xue's house and asked, Second sister, who is that little boy, he seems to have a good relationship with that pretty sister of the Xue family.

With a sullen face, Zhao Lingyin tapped him on the head and said, What a silly face, that's your brother-in-law!

The boy was stunned for a moment, and then he said in surprise: Second sister, do you like that little boy!
